Kaviagmiut

The Kaviagmiut are the Iñupiaq people of the southern Seward Peninsula, west of Norton Bay. Their name lives on in the Qawiaraq dialect of Iñupiaq, and they were the southernmost of the Bering Strait Iñupiat groups, bordering the Yup'ik peoples of Norton Sound.

They lived by sea-mammal hunting on the Bering Sea coast and by fishing the peninsula's rivers. The Seward Peninsula coasts were first seen by Europeans on Captain James Cook's voyage of 1778, when he named Cape Prince of Wales at the entrance to the Bering Strait.
